This MSE question clearly shows that reputation requirements for privileges are scaled down for sites in beta. This makes sense, as no one has had the opportunity to attain a high reputation count when a site is new.
However, I noticed today that not all privileges are scaled equally. Here are some examples from StackOverflow vs Engineering (Beta):
------------------------------------------------------
| Privilege | SO | Eng | Scale (Eng/SO) |
------------------------------------------------------
| Trusted User | 20,000 | 4,000 | 20% |
| Cast Close Votes | 3,000 | 500 | 16.7% |
| Full Editing | 2,000 | 1,000 | 50% |
| View Votes | 1,000 | 750 | 75% |
------------------------------------------------------
As you can see, some privileges are lowered more than others. In some cases, it actually changes the order of which privilege can be reached first.
I fully understand why rep requirements are scaled down overall, but why does the scale vary between privileges?
(Note: I found this similar question here on MSE, but the only response is speculation in the comments from one user, and it only addresses one particular privilege. I assume the community managers have a good reason for scaling many of the privileges differently, and I'd like to know what that reason is.)
